about
DOM-J is about traumata, time as non-progressive entity and about the unstoppable drive towards symptomatic repetition of these on one of the two sides of the barricade:
As eternal victim and perpetrator, as agent and marionette at the same time. Role switch as language shift.
Each awaits the liberation from this hopelessly unescapable short-circuit.
Only time as cypher of decay can end the chain of the sameness:
As doom for the individual, as bloom for reality.
KaNo
lyrics
Waiting for a tragedy,
Looping into anomy,
A desert beyond recognition.
Conquering, an iteration
Be divided, no salvation,
Inward calling to descend.
Insatiable hunger
Will tear us asunder
To prey and consume
Behold the doom.
Combien de lunes peut-on attendre?
Combien de peaux doit-on comprendre?
Car la pierre te grignote,
Et l'écran te réconforte,
Combien de lunes peut-on attendre?
How many nights will we live by
This game we didn't want to try?
As the stone still devours
And a screen counts the hours
Combien de lunes peut-on attendre?
Faces melting into one,
No rest till this work is done,
A self deceiving ecstasy.
Power struggle, no completion
Abuse fosters repetition
Pleasuring the unknown.
The stone will end the chain,
This loss is no one's gain,
Be prey, be consumed,
Be prey of whom?
Combien de lunes peut-on attendre?
Combien de peaux doit-on comprendre?
Car la pierre te grignote,
Et l'écran te réconforte,
Combien de lunes peut-on attendre?
How many nights will we live by
This game we didn't want to try?
As the stone still devours
And a screen counts the hours
Combien de lunes peut-on attendre?
Spoken - from Herzkranzgefäß by Heiner Müller
Gewitter im Gehirn
(Storm in the brain)
Blei in den Adern
(Lead in the veins)
Was du nicht wissen wolltest,
(What you didn't want to know)
Zeit ist Frist
(Time is a term)
Die Bäume auf der Heimfahrt
(The trees on the way home)
Schamlos grün
(Shamelessly green)

A special thanks to Marie from Grabyourface for her prompt collaboration and her majestic French vocals.

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke
Dark but designed to move you, this Dallas group uses menacing synths and popping live drum to make heavily rhythmic post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 13, 2019
On her latest EP, Baltimore's Mariah Fortune adds electronic beats and synth layers to her rhythmic dark folk meditations. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 21, 2018
